Arcade Fire to be Bowie's Backing Band? | New MP3
"In perhaps the ultimate gesture of admiration, Torontoist has learned that the Arcade Fire will play back-up to Mssr. David Bowie on his next concert tour."

UPDATE:(from the comments)
"Torontoist is mistaken. they MAY back him for his set at Fashion Rocks, it's not for sure yet, but they are not going on tour w/ him.
also Sound Team are opening Summerstage"

also, Owen Pallet (Final Fantasy) will tour w/ the band all this fall, so it's likely that Pietro, who plays French Horn for Bell Orchestre will sit in w/ AF as well.

For what it's worth, Owen (Final Fantasy) left for Europe today on a solo tour until November.

"None of this will be changing any time soon. The Arcade Fire have very graciously asked me to play the remaining "Funeral" tour dates as 2nd violinist. I am also lucky enough to be coming back to Europe for some solo Final Fantasy shows."

nm, i see from your Blog you know Owen, so were prolly aware of that, my bad ;)
Posted by solace | August 10, 2005 2:47 PM
Yeah, I do, so I was aware, but thanks for posting the clarification on here; I guess mine read like he wasn't gonna be with A/F for the rest of their tour. :)
Posted by Greg | August 10, 2005 3:43 PM
yeah, that's what i'd thought at first, my bad ;)
i've yet to see Owen do his own thing live, really itching to.
